REPERTOIREMAP

NAME

repertoiremap - map symbolic character names to Unicode code points

DESCRIPTION

A repertoire map defines mappings between symbolic character names and Unicode code points when compiling a locale with localedef?(1). Using a repertoire map is optional, it is only needed when symbolic names are used instead of now preferred Unicode code points.

Syntax

The repertoiremap file starts with a header that may consist of the following keywords:

<comment_char>

is followed by a character that will be used as the comment character for the rest of the file. It defaults to the number sign (#).:

<escape_char>

is followed by a character that should be used as the escape character for the rest of the file to mark characters that should be interpreted in a special way. It defaults to the backslash (\).:

The mapping section starts with the keyword CHARIDS in the first column.

The mapping lines have the following form:

<symbolic-name> <code-point> <comment>

This defines exactly one mapping, <comment> being optional.:

The mapping section ends with the string END CHARIDS.
